Very nice shots, and I like the palm tree out of focus appearance in the back ground a lot, makes the images stand out

Thank you Erik

I am perfectly happy that there are 2 schools of thought on the palm leaves. I got so hung up on having that in the background - that I forgot there could be another way of doing it. While it doesnt bother me too much either  - the comments have made me think a bit wider. I appreciate that you took time to look and comment

Now come visit Cape Town and you can see the for yourself :)

Great shots, Elsa.
The bokeh, which is difficult to control in sudden 'action shots',  I think, gives extra depth as well.
